West Iberian is a branch of the Ibero-Romance languages that includes the Castilian languages, Astur-Leonese , and the descendants of Galician-Portuguese. Aragonese and Mozarabic may also be included.
Until a few centuries ago, they formed a dialect continuum covering the western, central and southern parts of the Iberian Peninsula-excepting the Basque and Catalan-speaking territories. This is still the situation in a few regions, particularly in the northern part of the peninsula, but due to the differing sociopolitical histories of these languages, Spanish and Portuguese have tended to overtake and to a large extent absorb their sister languages while they kept diverging from each other.
If you are interested to see your native language/dialect featured here.
Submit your recordings to [e-mail].
Looking forward to hearing from you!

I still don't understand why this KZbin channel is not as popular as the most famous "influencers". Andy, your videos and your work deserve to be recognized around the world, i wish you the best and I hope your channel will become more popular. Regards!

[@clementinebedsheets3210]

This is Andy's second channel I believe. All of the videos on the original one were taken down. I am not sure why, but a lot of old videos are no longer available.

As a brazillian portuguese speaker, I understood 90% of all these languages.

[@christopherantonio3612]

Español es mi lengua materna. Aprendí hablar portugués y entiende el catalán (viví en Barcelona un par de meses.) Es muy interesante ver la transición gradual desde el Aragonés hasta el portugués. Entendí casi todo. Muy bellos idiomas. Un saludo a todos mis hermanos y hermanas que hablan idiomas ibero romances orientales.

[@tchop6839]

The naming in the video is a bit off, these are actually just the ibero Romance languages, a family Catalan and valencian aren’t a part of, they are spoken in Iberia but they are actually part of the gallo romance branch, also spoken in France northern Italy and parts of Belgium and Switzerland

[@luizfellipe3291]

Una nota a se tener en miente: 'Mirandese' (Mirandés) no es una lengua que se quedaría en el medio entre portugués y galego en un sentido de proximidad lingüistica. El Mirandés es una lengua que hace parte del complexo astur-leonés y Galego, Portugués y Fala [de Xálima] [Xalimego, Xamilmeño etc] son lenguas de un otro complexo, lo que se llama hoy de Galego-portugues

[@Dhi_Bee]

Salamat, Andy! I enjoyed hearing the similarities. I’m learning Brazilian Portuguese (Portuguese is my favorite language) & I speak Spanish too, so it’s very interesting to hear the differences that also sound familiar at the same time.

[@carlosconcha8698]

good video, but for this case, Spanish should be named Castilian.

[@zurriellu]

​@@soltamale3870No it isn't, in Spain we call it "castellano"

[@Svnfold]

Yes Castilian/Castellano is the original name for the language. "Spanish " is used because jts the most spoken and known language of Spain

[@TheCorazonPawprint]

​@@SvnfoldCorrect

[@TheCorazonPawprint]

As a Spaniard, I don't really mind the term "Spanish"

[@zurriellu]

@@Nwk843 Until the middle of the 20th century, "Spanish" as a glotonym had no popular use anywhere on the Iberian Peninsula, as the Atlas ALPI surveys show. However, in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean Islands or Colombia they used the term "Spanish" and instead of "Castilian" as they did in most countries of the South American continent and Spain. Curiously, the Canary Islands did the same as Cuba, contradicting the rest of Spain. In this distribution there are those who want to see Anglo-Saxon influence, and consider an Anglicism due to contact with the US in the last two centuries, since the independence of the colonies. Although it would be ironic if after ceasing to be Spanish their language begins to be. On the other hand, in countries where they use "Spanish", the expression to refer to the language in indigenous languages, however, is usually a locution equivalent to "lengua de Castilla" like in Nahuatl ho says "Caxtillahtolli", and references to Spain in these languages ​​are very rare. On the other hand, it must be recognized that in Spain "Spanish" has been used since the 16th century in the written language. Therefore, it would not be popular among common speakers until the second half of the 20th century, but it is used in an erudite way among more educated people. As for the RAE, how was indeed the "Spanish" Academy, as Spanish institution, but the language in its grammars and dictionaries were being "... of the Castilian language" until 1920, at the proposal of Menéndez Pidal. In a time of nationalist exaltation, within romanticism, in the context of the prelude to the Dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera, in which the use of any language other than Spanish within our borders was prohibited only three years after these event.

As an Spanish native speaker I need to say that it is more difficult to understand a strong Cuban accent in perfect Spanish than this languages, (Portuguese, an Mirandese as an exception).

Cuban dialects have Asturian influence!

[@fueyo2229]

Also we are not near oil and oc languages (supongo que estás traduciendo "idioma", idiom en inglés significa proverbio no lengua).

[@senorpuzle5018]

There is any posibility that in the video you exchanged accidentaly the miranese with the aragonese? As a persone that talk catalan I see more similitudes between the mirandese an the catalan than with the aragonese, and knowing that the clasiffication of aranese is ambiguous at the day of today beacause of the similitudes between both languages maybe that is the case. On the other hand, grate video, I love your content!

Waaait a minute. At 240...the story isnt translated right. In the English version at the top the character's name is "the breeze". In each and every one of the Romance language versions he is called "the North Wind". Same as each other, but different from the English example.

A intonação mirandesa parece mais portuguesa do que portuguesa mostrada aqui! --- E o locutor aragonês tem SeSeo no seu Cinco?

[@Svnfold]

Different language so it may sound different than Castilian to a degree

[@Ghusich]

@@Svnfold Yes, Aragnoese and Eastern Mozarabic form a separate branch, but Aragonese, as a Northern-Iberian language, is always olbigatory ceceistic continuum, even in modern orthography it can be written as _zinco_ . Maybe, it is a dialect...

[@Ghusich]

@@Nwk843 The literary Mozarabic shares many features with Zaragoza area old Aragonese and Navarro-Aragonese. Other parts of the Peninsula had another varieties of Romance, written in Arabic script (Algarve, Estremadura, etc.) Many of these people (so called Mozarabs) were cristians and used latin as their sacred language, but the everyday culture and science was under Islamic influence.

Random trivia on the side: Many of the areas on the map that are not "Spanish" have independence movements from Spain. The little thorn of Portuguese that reaches into Spain is an ongoing border dispute since Napoleon.

[@poncut5074]

Calling Castilian “Spanish” would be like if The UK renamed English to The British Language…

[@TheJosman]

In Spain, they call it castellano (Castillian), but in the Americas we call it español (Spanish)

[@guernica5413]

I wonder how an inter-iberian language would look like

[@Argacyan]

There used to be at least 4 versions of that depending on what time & scope you want: Celtiberian (a linguistic continuum), vulgar-Latin (also a continuum), Andalusian (an Arabic language) and Mozarabic (Latin with Arabic influences, but also spoken inter-iberian for a while)

Excellent work! These languages have had a great influence on the Castillian language. For example, Aragonese has contributed to the formation of the "Aragonese Castillian" dialect.

@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014 Hola! Si, tengo un ejemplo. Existe una herramienta agrícola denominada en castellano estándar “azada”. En castellano aragonés se la suele llamar “jada” y este nombre deriva del aragonés “xada” y no del castellano estándar. Como ese existen otros ejemplos en el vocabulario del castellano de Aragón y de la zona de Valencia que poblaron los aragoneses. Saludos!

[@toramitoramu]

Something that's very missing in many videos comparing Spanish with other languages it's that in Spanish we also have the numeral "un" too so we may say "un, dos, tres..." or "uno, dos, tres..." and no, its not the determinative article "un", it's an irregular or tonic form of "uno"

[@jcpaulinho]

atonic, "un" is only used as an adjective before any word, a variations of uno, it's common in Spanish. "Grande/gran", "primero/primer", "bueno/buen", "segundo, según", "mi/mio,mia", "tu/tuyo,tuya", "su/suyo,suya", "uno/un".

[@toramitoramu]

@@jcpaulinho Uh, not at all, I get what you mean by "adjective" but I've heard it being used in sentences when people count things like "un, dos, tres..." as an "apócope" but if we just meantion the number 1 we say "uno" but if we count things it's usually to shorten it to "ub" for example "un lápiz, dos lápices, tres lápices..." same with a hundred, we say "cien lapiceros" not "ciento lapiceros" if we have to add more numbers after "cien" we say "ciento uno/ciento y uno"
